Boyzone singing star Ronan Keating has spoken about a recent cancer scare, warning other men to seek medical advice if they fear they could have testicular cancer.
The singer made the comments during an interview on BBC's 'Newsnight', saying that he was "a mess" when he feared he may have cancer.
Keating said that he was on holiday when he discovered a lump and decided to seek medical advice. The singer said: "I found a lump, I panicked I called my doctor and he said: 'Listen, relax, don't worry about it - as soon as you get home, get it checked'."
"So I did, and it was fine, a small cyst almost, very regular. But you know, for those two weeks on holidays I was a mess."
Of course, Keating lost his mother to cancer which saw Ronan and members of his family setting up the Marie Keating Foundation, which provides women with information and services to promote the early detection and prevention of breast cancer. [via RTE]
